Abstract
This article presents evidence that newborns react to aversive caregiving procedures--heelsticks, circumcision, and surgery--with distinct physiological, behavioral, and metabolic responses. These responses are similar to those associated with pain in adults. Suggestions are made on methods of ameliorating the infant's responses to aversive caregiving procedures.Entities:
